Another @InquestLaw Blog on the latest inquest decision: Bilski v HMC Inner West London [2021] EWHC 339. Stating the obvious! You should read the Record of Inquest as a whole, not in a piecemeal way to properly record and understand how someone died

See the UK Inquest Law Blog @InquestLaw on the latest Art 2 decision for Inquests: Boyce v Coroner for Teesside [2022] EWHC 107. Local Authority care is not state detention - but setting a wide scope whilst keeping an open mind is a good idea
